RICHARDS CORNER

In New York we saw plays about immigrants,
lost Egyptians receiving hospitality in Israel,
confused visitors on 9-11 come to New Foundland,
a Kenyan girl grows beyond ‘Mean Girl’ life,
and of course, an early immigrant named Hamilton.
In New York, I walked way to far
now I lie in bed walkless,
it was all worth it.

On our OP-cation
We just missed the sensation
Of seeing the notorious RBG
Which would have been glorious, to see
Her impression of CANDIDE, written by another Jew
Or DR.ATOMIC, a timely tale and fairly new
Or MADAM BUTTERFLY, surprised by an American Imperialist
While ARIADNE was captivated by a godly delirious-ist
But the ITALIAN GIRL outsmarted all of Algiers
In Venice she would have earned a round of beers
All in all, a smashing time
Which included a glass of ten dollar wine.

In collaboration with Mural Fest 2018 and Tortuga Gallery, three local artists (Denise Weaver Ross, Joel Davis, and Roe LiBretto) have designed a nearly 25′ x 90′ mural, celebrating the flora and fauna of Albuquerque’s Rio Grande Bosque. The mural will wrap around the gallery’s home at 901 Edith SE during Mural Fest 2018 starting at the end of September. Tural Fest 2018 has worked with Tortuga and the artists to launch a Go Fund Me campaign. 15% of the money raised during the Go Fund Me campaign will go to Sierra Club’s Bosque Action Team.

History of the Neighborhood Through the Eyes of Contemporary Artists

Join the Friends of Mountain Road for a reception and banner walk to celebrate the installation of new, public art reflecting the unique history of Mountain Road. Twenty-two artists created original pieces about Wells Park, the Sawmill District, and Mountain Road that will be installed as banners on lampposts.

Mountain Road will be closed between 5th-12th Streets to allow visitors to view the art and learn about the history each piece reflects. A reception will be held at the Julianna Kirwin Studio and Gallery (1201 8th St), where the original art will be on display.
